Brief Summary
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a surgical procedure frequently associated with moderate-to-severe postoperative pain. While Adductor Canal Block (ACB) has demonstrated analgesic efficacy in TKA, the Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) is also being utilized as part of multimodal analgesia for postoperative pain management in lower extremity surgeries. Currently, there is a gap in the literature as no studies have directly compared the efficacy of ACB and ESPB for pain management following TKA. The primary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of these two analgesic methods in the context of postoperative analgesia management after total knee arthroplasty.
